trade rumors are swirling...

can he be our next Bus...
( heard looking for 2021 picks!)

i am all in!

[whatever]

I don't think I want to waste future draft picks for a 1 year rental. He's gonna want to get paid next year.

I hear what you are saying, but we will have 5th year option on him, can franchise him if we want. Even if he leaves we will get comp pick for him...

keep in mind they want next year pick and they trade Calisus to the Ravens for a 5th!

I'm still thinking of how he punked us in both home games in 2018.

I would pass. I like a few backs in this years draft. And to be honest Foster had really fallen off from the days he could play. That killed us last year. We upgrade the current hole we have on the line n we'll run the ball fine this year. Ben being back where we won't see 7 guys in the box will help.

Iron, I liked how you fell back to the line being better. We've got to keep that mindset up front and foremost. And it will be even better after Friday nite when we add some talented youth.

I can see getting a comp pick after one year paying him 4 million but no way are they going to pay him 12+ on the tag.
With all our guys needing to get paid, I (and some of the players) would lose their minds if we paid an outsider and left our own drafted guys walk.

His comp pick award might be more than what we trade for him...If they pay him $$$ then obviously he pans out. Don't forget the salary cap is suppose to sky rocket in 2021.

whatever, you can't get attach if we don't give them $ that means they will get paid y some one else.... Luckly we have Colbert and a strong front office that knows who deserves to get paid or let them get paid elsewhere.

And the thing about Fournette, it isn't really him that is the problem, its Jax just full sell for Lawrence.

I guess.
I'm only down for a 1 year rental giving up no more than a 4th.

A few days ago, when I heard he was on the trading block, I thought, damn, he'd make for a good Steeler. Not sure what his character is like, so hope they do their due diligence. I'm sure they will.

When I first heard, how he is on the blocks that is what came to my mind, and was thinking he was washed up. ( I had him on my fantasy team, the year he was out like 10 games)

I started to change my opion the next few days, when I started to realize that last year, he had a really good bounce back year. It is just his team just sucked.

The whole organization sucks from top to bottom. All these reports coming out how the management didnt give proper medical attention and etc for players. I think even the players union sent a message to warn potential free agents there.

The only negative things I can think of was he got into a fight with Buffalo...got him suspend 2 or more games. And that he question and makes negative remarks about his team on social media. But can you blame the guy... he plays for the worst organization in football.

That organisation is a mess...
Under Tomlin and the Steelers manangement, I think he would be a good soldier.

Kinda reminds me about a runningback we traded for on this very day 24 years ago. Clearly the jags are going to draft a new running back in the draft and move on from Fornette.

Fournette is a drama queen. Jag fans won't be sad if he is traded
